True Identity is a show curated to evoke intense response and seeks to raise questions about our own identity. The exhibition showcases work from seven unique artists, both up-and-coming and internationally-acclaimed. Through various mediums and approaches, the investigative responses of each artist’s work explore ancestral roots, ties, shifts and ideals and beliefs within different cultures and the self.

11 January – 15 March Reigning Cats and Dogs features historical and contemporary images, sometimes imbued with satirical and sentimental intent. Curator Peter Ford has brought together an international collection of paintings, printmaking, photography, sculpture, artists’ books and illustrations, postcards and ephemera united under this theme.
8 January – 7 April This exhibition charts the creation of some of the world’s most extraordinary structures created for the purpose of celebration, including a preview of Britain’s 2012 legacy projects. Thanks particularly to the Olympics, the UK sees a new set of buildings and public spaces, but how will they fare now the party is over? The legacy of celebration is explored through images, photographs, drawings and models that present events from the past alongside legacy projects including the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the Eiffel Tower and the O2 Dome.
